Getting To Your Teens Through Their Car!
Friday, November 6th, 2009
As all car-owners as well as parents know, there will come a time when your teenage daughter or son may want a car, and as fulfilling your dutiful role as a parent you are going to want to give them one from dealers such as Doug Henry or Beechmont Ford. Of course, you may however not want to give them the keys to death or any type of situation that may harm them even though the reality of that happening still remains quite blatant. The good news is that even though you cannot legally stop them from getting their licenses or being behind the wheel, you can still help to make sure they are in your line of vision even when they are not.
In the modern day and age parents can literally ride shotgun through technology and help to monitor where their teen is, what is going on within the vehicle thanks to a built-in camera, even how high they turn up the radio and if they are in a forbidden area.
Even on vehicles such as the all-new 2010 Ford Focus there has been a new technology program that Ford has adopted known as the MyKey which allows parents to set the speed of the car to a maximum limit, the radio, even ensure that your child wears their safety belt with a chiming alarm that doesn’t stop going off until their seat belt is in place–even a muted stereo until the action is done!
Rest assure parents, you don’t have to be with your kids to be with them and keep them safe. Thanks to new technologies and even better ideas your kids are sure to be in good hands.
